Playing DVD Discs

If your eMac has a DVD/CD-RW Combo drive or a SuperDrive, you can play standard DVD-Video discs. To play a DVD, insert the DVD disc. DVD Player opens automatically and starts playing the disc.

If your eMac is connected to a TV so that you can watch DVD playback on the TV screen, select 720 x 480 NTSC (in the United States) or 720 x 576 PAL (in Europe and other regions) in the Displays pane of System Preferences.

You can easily connect your eMac to your stereo system. Use a 3.5-millimeter miniplug- to-RCA cable (not included) to connect the headphone port (f) on your eMac to the audio input ports on your stereo.
